Furniture Designer

Role & responsibilities

conceptualization and design development

clear design intent, narratives, and product logic

high-quality drawings, 3D models, and visual representations

- Guide and review detailing, prototyping, and design refinement, ensuring buildability without diluting intent

- Oversee preparation of technical drawings, specifications, and design documentation

- Research and define material palettes, finishes, joinery systems, and fabrication approaches

- Mentor and guide junior designers, offering critique and direction to elevate overall studio output

- Coordinate remotely with interior designers, consultants, and internal teams across projects

- Maintain design quality, consistency, and clarity across multiple concurrent workstreams

Preferred candidate profile

- 2 to 5 years of experience in product design, furniture design, industrial design, or interior-adjacent design, with leadership responsibility

- Strong proficiency in tools such as Rhino, AutoCAD, Fusion, SketchUp, or equivalent (tool-agnostic mindset)

- Advanced understanding of materials, finishes, construction methods, and fabrication constraints

- Ability to translate conceptual ideas into buildable, production-ready solutions

- Experience guiding others through critique, iteration, and refinement

- Clear, confident communicator both visually and verbally

- Comfortable working independently in a remote, distributed team environment

Design Leadership & Thinking

- A designer with clear authorship and point of view, not trend-driven styling

- Comfortable taking ownership of design decisions and defending intent with logic

- Enjoys ambiguity and shaping direction in early-stage concepts

proportion, detail, tactility, and material expression

Nice to Have (Not Mandatory)

- Experience working with high-end interior design studios or architecture firms

- Experience coordinating with vendors, fabricators, or workshops

- A portfolio demonstrating concept-to-execution thinking, with sketches, process, and built outcomes

What This Role Is Not

- Not a drafting-only or support role

- Not trend-chasing or catalog-driven design

- Not limited to execution without authorship

This role is for someone who wants to shape design culture, influence outcomes, and build a body of work rooted in narratives, craft, and intelligence.

A Note from the Founder :

I'm personally interested in working with someone who:

- Thinks in narratives, systems, and first principles

- Understands that restraint is harder than excess

- Cares deeply about how things are made

- Can hold a design position and refine it through critique rather than abandon it

If youre someone who:

- Enjoys slowing down to get things right

- Believes craft and clarity matter more than speed

- Wants to grow a long-term design voice rather than chase short-term output

—then this may be a good fit.
